Chapter 282: Puerto Rico

This choice is very correct. If you want to hand over the prison to a private enterprise, Sheffield can say that it is not possible to travel all over the United States of America and find no more suitable person than himself. , The most professional and the most reassuring candidate in the field.
After all, the Sheffield family ’s private prisons in Texas have been in operation for more than thirty years. Who dares to say that today ’s simple and honest Texas has nothing to do with the contribution of his family in the field of crime prevention?
In fact, this is not the entire history of the joint company's operation of the prison. You should know that Sheffield's grandfather was a Louisiana native, but only later moved to leave. In fact, the family ’s private prison business started in New Orleans.
It was only at that time that private enterprises operated prisons for a limited period. In 1848, Louisiana leased their prisons to two families to operate and managed them for five years. These two families are actually Sheffield's grandfather and grandmother.
In private prisons, competitors later emerged. In the 1960s, Mississippi authorized the state to lease state prisons to a private company for 15 years. During the same period, the Huntsville Prison in Texas was also leased to the United Company. Even if the entire prison is not leased out later, criminals are often leased to private companies for paid work.
So for Sheffield, he does not need to express his gratitude to the state government. The private prison operation right of Louisiana belongs to the Sheffield family. But because of the defeat in the Civil War, the United Company shivered and shrank to Texas.
"Ramon, to be fair, is there anyone in this country who is more suitable for running prisons than me? Can you find it?" Sheffield looked like she was praying, and she seemed very eager to be recognized.
"It's really gone!" Ramon Heston paused, and he couldn't think of anyone more suitable than the people in front of him.
"So say it! This matter should be given to me. One day, I might build a prison trust!" Sheffield pinched her hands and straightened, "I opened my prison on five continents, but now it's just Is the beginning. "
This is really a great dream! Ramon Hess sucked a breath of cold air. There were rumors that the military's concentration camp in the Philippines was based on the boss's suggestion. I wonder if it is true?
"You don't know the benefits of private prisons. After all, you are not proficient in this area of ​​business. This will allow our company to better deal with governments around the world!" Sheffield gave Lamonhes a look you care about. Language.
For example, this can give judges a chance to make extra money. Once the criminals in the prison are not enough, they must bribe the judge and severely sentence the criminals. At the same time, the death penalty is meaningless for private prisons, because the prison cannot profit from a dead person, so it will try its best to prevent the local governments from over sentence.
This raises the next question, should the death penalty be abolished! The most practical significance of the abolition of the death penalty is as follows: to show the politician's democratic fraternity and to win votes. People in the legal profession use it as a stepping stone for rising careers. The effective way for the ignorant Virgin to vent overflowing love. Criminals can reduce the cost of crime, leave a way for themselves, and live in their old age in the face of thousands of fingers.
Sheffield feels that she is advancing social progress and has given various people an opportunity to express themselves. As for himself, he only needs a little free labor. Compared with the benefits of all parties in this matter, his benefits are completely negligible.
In the first year of entering the American century, Sheffield transformed New Orleans, rejuvenated the southern center that was hit by the civil war, and ushered in the upcoming election. Then he went directly to the sea and looked for a place to observe the changes during the election, as before, but before that, he gave William Brian $ 100,000 in political cash in the name of the United Company to express his consistent support for the Democrats. .
This time Sheffield chose Puerto Rico, ceded to the United States of America by the Spanish government after the Spanish-American War, and took Evelyn and Natalia together.
"This girl is very beautiful!" Evelyn leaned on Sheffield's shoulder, seeing Natalia just went out for a complicated look, "Is this your new prey?"
"Don't say that! Evelyn!" Sheffield kissed the woman's forehead. "We are all like that now. Don't talk about these unhappy things. The most important thing is to be happy when you come out and walk?"
"Hmm!" Evelyn leaned back in a comfortable position. At least the man had forgotten himself before having a baby. "How did I choose Puerto Rico this time? I didn't choose a farther place. When the Democratic Party asked for help, You said it ’s not easy to come back, it ’s not easier. "
"Holidays are vacations, work is work!" Sheffield listened to Evelyn's gruff, softly, "The two can be combined, you don't find out, I am particularly impressed by this vague position. Interested? We have already been to Hawaii, this time it's easier to change to a closer place. "
When she arrived in Port San Juan, Sheffield seemed to enter another world. Of course, unlike Hawaii, this island, which is also currently in a special status, is not very friendly to the United States of America. After all, it didn't take long to occupy. Therefore, security still needs to be strengthened.
Looking back at the position of the North American continent, Sheffield has a sense of heroism in Puerto Rico's blockade of the North American continent. I don't know if Chang Gong, who is a few decades later, also has this idea. Is he stronger than Chang Gong?
"You need to be low-key, if let the local people know that I am the owner of the Panama Canal Engineering Company, this is not a trivial matter!" Sheffield whispered to Evelyn and Natalia after she landed, see you When the two sisters nodded, they clearly understood the seriousness of the incident.
No one knew better what Sheffield did, because New Orleans did not reach the number of recruits, and Chinese workers were left to carry out reconstruction projects. The Panama Canal project has a large labor gap. He has now picked up his old bank and arrested people from Puerto Rico and sent them to Panama as workers.
However, although this matter is more difficult to tell, not all the sins go to you. This is under the tacit consent of the federal government, otherwise things will not be so easy. In the history, some of the workers on the Panama Canal were themselves captured by the United States from Puerto Rico. Because Puerto Rico had just occupied and the rebellion was still strong, the Roosevelt government acquiesced.
He, the slave owner, did as many assholes, but compared with the country, he was nothing. How could he dare to be brazen compared with the human lighthouse?
Soon Sheffield came to the Puerto Rican governor's house. Now the Puerto Rican governor is called Alan. It is the Governor of Puerto Rico that President William McKinley just appointed. After two years of military occupation, the federal government felt that it could appoint a civilian governor.
"William, how did you think of coming here? You also know that Puerto Rico is very desolate, and you have to guard against these barbarians." Although Allen hadn't seen Sheffield, he knew everything about the United Company here, so one I was still a little surprised when I saw the boss of the United Company.
"These savages are really savage, but this place is also really a good place!" Sheffield chuckled and took out a few bottles of red wine from his suitcase. "This is still to be developed, so some things have to be brought from the local area. However, I believe that within a few years, Puerto Rico will definitely change, and by then the people here will have a weak heart of resistance. "
Sheffield still has some understanding of Puerto Rico ’s history. When Puerto Rico was just occupied by the United States, the resistance was strong. After all, the United States in this era was not the status of the United Kingdom. This rebellion continued until the end of World War II, when the independent Puerto Rican assassination of the President of the United States occurred.
However, as the position of the world hegemon in the United States of America has become more stable and long-term easy life, Puerto Ricans a hundred years later do not want to be independent. Independence may cause economic recession.
Everyone knows that the allies that exist around the real enemy of the United States have always tried their best to support them, that is, many allies ca n’t help the wall, and their vision is a little bit. Puerto Rico is a model built specifically around Cuba, just like the European Federal Germany, Asian Japan, and South Korea.
Fifty years later, the issue of Puerto Rico is no longer a question of independence, but the referendum is officially part of the United States, but the biggest resistance comes from the federal government. Contrary to the current situation, it is now that the United States wants to devour Puerto Rico, and the resistance here is one after another. Later, Puerto Rico wanted to join the fight, and the federal government vetoed Puerto Rico's request to join.
"Are you coming to inspect the United Company's prison?" Allen asked with interest. Puerto Rico also has a private prison in the Sheffield family, which is currently the largest industry of the United Company here. First, catch people and send them to Panama. Here 'S private prison played a role in blinding eyes.
"I'm really on vacation this time!" Sheffield said irrefutably. "The beach here is really great. If it can be developed, it will definitely make many domestic people rush. Some of my friends and I are here for this The land is very interesting, see what you can find to develop. "
